I know what you mean....My wife gave me a deluxe gas grill some 20 years ago for my BD. It had all the bells and whistles at that time including a side grill and a separate bun warmer but came in a box that probably weighed 300 lbs. When I opened it, it contained like 2000 parts and the instructions were written in Chinesenglish and the only picture was the one on the box of the completed grill. That was by far the toughest and most dangerous thing I ever had to put together. Even to this day I often thank my wife for that BD present. In fact I think another heartfelt thanks are in order today.
